For Message Display>Compact, Colorize usernames, update to use color blind friendly colors
I really like the compact message display view. I use the "Colorize usernames" option, but the use of red and green for the usernames is difficult for me as I'm color blind. I understand that the contrast between red and green is great for non-color blind users, but it's super difficult for the color blind. This blog post gives some good suggestions as to colors that will be easy to distinguish between for the color blind: https://www.tableau.com/blog/examining-data-viz-rules-dont-use-red-green-together#:~:text=Use%20a%20colorblind%2Dfriendly%20palette%20when%20appropriate&text=For%20example%2C%20blue%2Forange%20is,blue%20to%20someone%20with%20CVD. Thank you ;) Love mattermost!

Provide a "Mark read" choice in mobile push notifications
A "Mark read" choice in push notifications about new messages, as seen in many IM apps, would be handy in Mattermost Mobile too. Currently the message can only be marked read by tapping the message to open the app (which is slow).

Ability to Search only DMs
I would like to search only DMs and exclude searching the channels. In most scenarios, I would have had a conversation with a few people on DMs. I would like to be able to quickly find those conversations without searching in any channels.
I see https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/7762 has been closed. But the dependent PR has been merged - https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-webapp/pull/189.
So I would love the see this idea getting implemented.

Recommend a more privacy friendly app than Google Authenticator for MFA
Mattermost suggests that the users use Google Authenticator which is no longer is available under a free license.
I would propose making a different recommendation.- the MFA setting mentions "When true, users with AD/LDAP or email login can add multi-factor authentication to their account using Google Authenticator." But it should mention that any TOTP application will do.
- the MFA setup page only mentions Google Authenticator instead of giving a shortlist of possible apps, such as Aegis, a free and open source application.
As FOSS software, we should promote the use of FOSS software to users and not lead them to…

Add native possibility to subscribe to rss feeds in a specific channel
We received a feature request from our users: they'd like to be able to subscribe to one or more rss feeds natively (not with the rss feed plugin which no longer seems to be developed further). News on one of this feeds should be written to a selected channel including a notification for the new message(s).

Put a timer on Banners
We use time-sensitive banners to inform users of ongoing events. If we don't manually disable them, they will run past the event. Could we put an end time on banners, the way that there are end times on statuses?

Add options for date format display: eg "Monday June 10" instead of "June 10" as headline in channels
Make channels more scannable when catching up on large backlog of messages -- it would be easier to quickly understand if messages are grouped under on a channel included date name as well as month name and date numeral. So create options for format of date displayed within channels. Specifically to include day name.

Close dms directly when clicking to another area (settings opt-in)
Other messenger services offer a user setting where you can hide direct message instances from the left sidebar once you have clicked into it and then clicked to another dm or channel. It would appear again if the person sent you a new message. You can bypass this by pinning or favoriting that user so they always stay in the DM list.
I prefer this system so that the DM area acts as an 'inbox' only, where I can glance and see things that need my attention. Having 10-40 inactive entries is just clutter, esp. on smaller device screen heights…

Add markdown support to attachment.footer
Currently markdown supported on post.text and attachment.text. I suggest to add support markdown to attachment.footer. It would be useful for migration from slack, where some bots and serivces use attachment.footer for adding navigation URL. For example, Grafana alert manager.

Increase notification sound length for sound over HDMI speakers
All notification sounds are too short. On my PC I use sound over HDMI to my monitor speakers. It takes about a second to establish the connection. In that time the sound is already played. If I listen very carefully, I only hear some noise for about a second or two before the sound connection is closed again. But some hardly to hear noise doesn't draw my attention.
This might also be a problem with sound over Bluetooth?2 votes -
Introduce a **Check Later Box** for improved async communication
A lot of times people want to drop a message to someone who don't need to check it immediately.
Examples
- Check these PRs when you have time
- Review this doc please
- Hey! I wanted to talk about the deployment process when you have time.
- Hey check this new video out on how TypeScript was created
etc.These are in general low priority items.
With todos and reminders, it's me doing the hard work of adding things to a todo list that I should check later. The current DM doesn't work because if something urgent comes up…

Custom user groups with rights management
I would like to be able to define custom user groups and manage their rights (channels they can access, ...) through these groups.
That way when a new member joins, I can assign them to the group(s) and their rights will be automatically set correctly.
TLDR : Custom groups management like how discord handles roles11 votes -

mmctl command to clean-up orphaned files
As it is now, we will probably have to write a custom lambda funtion that scans the entire S3 bucket, tries to match the files with the associated channels, and removes them if not found. Not even sure if this is possible, there are alot of id's in the pathname of the files, so my guess is one of them is the channel id, however, this we still need to confirm.

Bigger writing screen for the mobile app
Dear Mattermost team
In the mobile app when answering to a message, the reply writing screen is only 3 lines wide … whereas received message takes all the screen.
Why this choice ?
Do we need in priority to read constantly the received message or to be very focused on our reply ?Let’s make the reply writing screen full screen for the confort of writing.
Thanks
Arno

Line numbers for code blocks
When in meetings (with slow internet speed where you cannot share your screen), it is difficult to refer to lines of code that are not numbered and discuss things. It'd be great if lines were numbered or at least there was an option to optionally enable such a feature or a separate "numbered codeblock" feature.
